Wedding in Radford VA

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Chris made every step of the ceremony process seamless. He manages to be personable and reassuring to couples and also knows how to hype up the guests for a beautiful wedding ceremony. Love how he works with all of the vendors. I will be recommending him to other couples without a doubt.

Couldn't have asked for better

I would highly recommend Chris to other couples. Very professional and had a way of making our ceremony intimate. Very likable personality and worth the time to hire. He hand wrote our ceremony and made it one of a kind. Upon completion, he gave it to us as a keepsake. We didn't get the feeling like he was rushing out and took the time for conversation afterward.

So Wonderful!

Chris was incredible! He helped us every step of the way in deciding on vows. He sent over several different styles and verbiage. We were able to look at them and put together a truly custom ceremony and vows. If I had to do it 100 times over, I would pick Chris every time. I couldn’t have asked for a better officiant.

10/10 - Absolutely loved him!

Words can’t describe how helpful Kris was! It was such a blessing to be able to work with him. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful about the process. He continued to reassure me up until five minutes before I was walking down the aisle!!! Everyone loved him, he was amazing! I would absolutely recommend him to anybody.
He is extremely well spoken, and articulate. He’s super intriguing to listen to. He definitely made the ceremony. Again, 10 out of 10 we appreciate him very much!

Wonderful officiant!

We got married in August and Chris was wonderful to work with. We had a good idea of what we wanted - we didn’t want a stuffy service and wanted to include a sand ceremony to signify joining our families and Chris was happy to oblige. In addition, my husband’s parents wanted to renew their vows and he agreed to officiate a quick service during the professional photos with that side of the family. That was very meaningful for all of us.

Best Wedding Experience

Chris Karol truly made our event the best possible experience for everyone. He expressed his genuine care to meet several times to help plan our ceremony catered to our wishes, even us scripting the ceremony and our vows. Location wasn't an issue, he drove a few hours to our venue on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Excellent service!!!!!!

Chris ensured we had the best ceremony possible. From the beginning when we found Chris on thumbtack, he was responsive, and even gave us ideas for our ceremony script. The best part was hearing the surprise quote he prepared for us and we loved how he kept the audience laughing. Chris listened to and assisted with all of our requests and even worked with our vendors to ensure our ceremony was seamless. I was able to surprise my wife with horses & a carriage after our ceremony and Chris worked with the vendor and coordinators to ensure the carriage was at the end of the aisle right on time. We have absolutely no complaints about the services provided and would definitely recommend Chris to anyone we know getting married in the future.
